"On a serious note,bro,I haven't seen Peyton in a long time.Is everything okay?"Zane Maddox,Mason's closest friend,asked.Was he genuinely concerned about me or was he just faking it?
I turned to him,wondering if he'd sensed that something was off.Did he know something about my death?
The night I died,it felt like someone attacked me from behind.I wasn't so sure about how I died cause my head throbbed with pain then.
And when I woke up,I noticed that my soul was trapped here.
"You have nothing to worry about,"he said,irritation in his voice."She's better off disappearing.At some point,it was nauseating because she was always clinging to me,pretending to be sick in front of my parents."
I stood before him,shouting,"I wasn't pretending,you douchebag!I really was sick!"
But he couldn't hear me.What was I expecting?He thought I made up my illness to guilt-trip him into marrying me which was far from the truth.
He had forgotten the car accident that caused damage to my brain.The blood clot still pressed against my brain nerves that caused me to severe headaches every few days.In all of those times,I never told anyone because I thought it was best I handled it.
But when Mrs Reed discovered it,I had to tell her the truth.I couldn't lie to her.When Mason found out,to him,it seemed I was looking for sympathy of some kind.
He believed that I used it to trap him.He had completely forgotten that we were on our way to the city hall when the accident occurred.
Afterward,he lost his memories of me,only thinking of me as a clingy,vile woman.I guess it was my fault for loving him unconditionally even when the odds were against me.
"Be careful about what you say,Mason.You might end up regretting it,"Zane cautioned."Besides,I sent her some text messages a few days ago which she hasn't replied to.It's weird."
His annoyance grew."She's just a toxic ex,who always causes trouble for Harper.It will be a relief if she disappears for good."
You got your wish,Mason.I'm really dead.Happy now?
"Well,in case you have forgotten,there are people who shouldn't be messed me with,"Zane said,his words making me shiver.Who was he talking about?
"For your information,I installed cameras at her place,but nothing suspicious has showed up yet,so just chill out,"he said,leaning back into the chair.He really sounded cocky.But then again,cameras?
